What is a fraction?
A fraction is an equal part of a whole shape, space or group of objects.
A fraction is an equal part of a whole shape, space or group of objects.
Re-read the sentence above carefully.
Watch the videos below.
3_11_6_VLB Explaining Fractions.pdfNow complete the worksheet below by cutting out the shapes and placing them into the first column if they correctly show fractions, and put them into the second column if they are not fractions.
Then complete the worksheet below.
Then follow the instructions for Khan's Academy.

Introduction to Fractions
Cutting Shapes into equal parts
Fractions are part of a whole shape, but they can all look very different. A square can be cut into quarters by drawing a vertical line down the middle, and drawing a horizontal line across the middle. Or a circle can be cut in half and then in half again to look like 4 pieces of pie. But if a fraction just means dividing a shape into equal parts, then there are many other ways it could be done.
Use the grid sheet provided by your teacher. How many different ways could you divide a cake into quarters? Imagine that this grid is a square cake. Be creative and colour in one quarter of the cake in different ways (only use one colour). Do as many different examples as you can in 5 minutes.

You will be given a sheet of paper with some rectangles.
Create as many different flags as you can which are 3/4 red and 1/4 yellow. Most of the flags in the picture are not divided into fourths, but the picture is just there as an idea. Remember that fractions are equal parts of a whole flag.
Take a photograph of all the flags you have designed and upload it to Seesaw.

Can you count using fractions? Discuss.
Could you count by halves for example? Work with a partner or with your class.
Could you count by fourths?
Whenever we have a number line and divide up the space between whole numbers, we are dividing the space into parts of a whole. Each space is part of the whole number, so we can count using fractions.
Look carefully at the line below.
The space between 0 and 1 has been divided into two equal parts, so we can count the first space as being half, and the second space is another half. But you all know that two halves make a whole 1.
So we could count 0, 1/2, 1, 1 1/2, 2. See if you can keep counting by halves up to 10.
We can do the same with any size of fractions. On the line below, the space between 0 and 1 has been divided into 4 equal spaces, which we call fourths or quarters.
So we can count this one as follows: 0, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 1, 1 1/4, 1 2/4, 1 3/4, 2. Try to continue this counting pattern up to 6.

Investigate this interactive wall by clicking on different fractions on strips. (This is like the fraction booklet you made up last week).
Compare different fractions and see how many quarters, sixths and eighths are an equivalent amount of the strip as one half. Then try to find out what fractions are equivalent to one third or one quarter.
See if you can write number sentences to match what you draw/colour on the interactive wall.

Today you are going to make a resource that we will use in future lessons on fractions, so look after it carefully. Use the pictures to help you think about what to do.
Find your Fraction Flip Book in your learning pack.
Carefully cut along the dotted line where it tells you to on each sheet. Be careful to only cut one page at a time, and don't catch any other pages.
Look carefully at the images shown to the right, and colour in your booklet, using a different colour for each fraction.
On the pages where there are circles, colour in the amount of the circle as instructed.

Remember the special math words that we heard about when talking about fractions. One word is used to talk about how many parts the whole shape (or cake) is divided into - that is called the denominator. Another word is used to talk about how many parts we have coloured in (or have eaten) - that is called the numerator. Watch these two short videos just to help you fix this idea in your mind.
Stop this video after 3.30 minutes.
